RUSH: Mark Halperin. There\u2019s a line in Mark Halperin\u2019s piece at TIME Magazine. The headline: ‘What Obama Needs to Come Back: Nothing Short of Luck,\u2019 and there is a line in this piece toward the end of it. ‘No one wants the country to suffer another catastrophe. But…\u2019 [repeats] ‘No one wants the country to suffer another catastrophe. But when a struggling Bill Clinton was faced with the <\/a>Oklahoma City bombing and a floundering George W. Bush was confronted by 9\/11, they found their voices and a route to political revival. Perhaps Obama\u2019s crucible can be positive — the capture of Osama bin Laden, the fall of the Iranian regime, a dramatic technological innovation that revitalizes American manufacturing — something to reintroduce him to the American people and show the strengths he demonstrated as a presidential candidate.\u2019 <\/p>\n

I… (chuckles) If I were drinking coffee I\u2019d be spitting it out right now. ‘While he negotiates his way through the lame-duck session of Congress, prepares for his State of the [Show] address and budget, and braces for the new normals of 2011, the President had better figure out how to react when the moment comes.\u2019 [repeats] ‘No one wants the country to suffer another catastrophe. But…\u2019 But? ‘[T]he President had better figure out how to react when the moment comes. Without that moment — whatever it is — and strong leadership in its wake, Obama may find his luck has run out,\u2019 but not a word in this piece about the country\u2019s luck. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about Obama. Nothing is real. <\/p>\n

‘The coalition that got Barack Obama elected President just two years ago has been shattered. [sobbing] Gaming out the trajectory of the next two years can be done any number of ways, but Obama\u2019s efforts to rebuild a politically robust alliance will be the most telling. It may be the biggest challenge of his career — and he will need happenstance along with skill if he is going to get it done,\u2019 and it goes on and on and on. This is the mind-set of the media: ‘Oh, my gosh, what\u2019s Obama gonna do? How\u2019s he gonna get back the magic?\u2019 Hey, Mark, he can\u2019t. He\u2019s lost it. He\u2019s fraud. It\u2019s like Tiger Woods is never gonna be again what we all thought he was.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mark Halperin of TIME Magazine wonders what Obama can do to come back. He doesn\u2019t wonder what America can do to come back. You know, America needing to come back is, I guess, a little bit more important than Obama coming back, but not to Mr. Halperin. ‘What Obama Needs to Make a Comeback: Nothing Short of Luck.\u2019 I would say (I\u2019m on a first-name basis with Mark Halperin), Mark, Obama has his crisis. It\u2019s the economy! He\u2019s got a crisis, my friend, and he has bungled it. He\u2019s even had his choice of foreign policy crises: North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan. He\u2019s bungled them, too. Now he\u2019s got the WikiLeaks attack, which Julian Assange thinks is more damaging to the US than 9\/11. <\/p>\n

You have Julian Assange demanding Obama resign because Obama had to be in on the spying at the UN, and look how he\u2019s jumping into the fray to solve that. He\u2019s in over his head, Mark. He\u2019s an agitator, a community organizer, a far-left fringe leftist and he\u2019s got designs on getting even with this country. The rest of it, he doesn\u2019t care about. It\u2019s patently obvious out there. ‘With unemployment high and promising to stay there, it is nearly impossible in the short term for Obama to shift opinion and be seen as a successful President. But he can\u2019t achieve anything in 2011 and 2012, or get re-elected, unless he can win back support from some of his core groups.\u2019 <\/p>\n

You know, when are people gonna realize he can\u2019t do that because he was a fraud? There was an image presented of Obama that was not real. He can\u2019t go back. Once a fraud is exposed, there is no more real. Look, I don\u2019t mean to beat up on Tiger Woods, but when you acquiesce in a marketing plan to present you as Mr. Perfect in Everything, and then we find out you aren\u2019t, sorry, dude, you can\u2019t go back to that. You have to start anew, and you have to whatever, but it\u2019s never gonna be the same for Tiger Woods, and it\u2019s not gonna be the same for Obama. Halperin here, this is pure ‘optics.\u2019 He\u2019s talking about optics. He\u2019s not even talking about substance. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s all the media cares about is the optics.<\/p>\n

‘How does Obama appear? How does he look?\u2019 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you: Underqualified. He looks overmatched or underqualified. He looks small. He looks frail. He looks tiny. He does not look up to the job. He doesn\u2019t even look interested — and he\u2019s really not. Here\u2019s the thing. Mr. Halperin, here\u2019s the real bottom line. I was in New York over the weekend. I arrived Friday night at the end of the workday. (Let \u2019em audit me! I didn\u2019t do any work in New York. I arrived Friday night.) I went out to lunch with some friends and we got to talking about all this, and we concluded (well, they agreed with me because it was my point and I had been making this point) from Obama\u2019s perspective he\u2019s been overwhelmingly successfully. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s carrying around this little notepad and it says he\u2019s accomplished 70% of what he wanted to get done. From his standpoint, he has been successful. Now, if you have a different objective, if you\u2019re looking at this as ‘optics\u2019 and you want people to love Obama — you want this massive fraud recaptured — that can\u2019t happen. It simply cannot happen. What could Obama do to win back the independents? What can he do? That\u2019s why Halperin says: Please, give us a disaster. Give us a disaster and let Obama show his mettle. <\/p>\n

Mark, he\u2019s got disasters. He\u2019s creating the disasters in many ways. He\u2019s extending the disasters. He\u2019s got his crisis. He\u2019s got the economy. It\u2019s just an amazing piece. A window, if you needed it, into the mind, the view, the mind-set of the State-Controlled Media. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Linda in The Villages, Florida. It\u2019s nice to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Dittos, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Obama has had another disaster, other than the economy, that he screwed up. The gulf oil spill.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. He did… See, now, from your perspective and mine he screwed up, but not from his.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggling) <\/p>\n

RUSH: If he wants to wreak havoc on the domestic oil business, he\u2019s had a very successful maneuver here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s true, and I\u2019m sure that was the point.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, there\u2019s still a moratorium on drilling. He\u2019s extended it. That\u2019s why I said talking to Mark Halperin, ‘Mark, I\u2019m sure Obama read your piece and said, ‘What am I doing wrong here? I\u2019ve got 70% of my agenda already accomplished in two years. What more do you want?” I\u2019ll guarantee you, if we had won the White House in 2008 and in two years implemented as much of our agenda as Obama has of his, we would be throwing parties left and right. We would be talking about that kind of progress not being possible. It\u2019s just that Obama\u2019s interests don\u2019t dovetail with ours. They don\u2019t dovetail with the nation\u2019s at large. This is a guy who\u2019s trying to transform America. When he talks about ‘transform the country,\u2019 he means it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
